Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 1 cup red and green gumdrops or chewy candy, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Dish: Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Set aside to use later.
- Heat Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter, white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. Microwave for 1 minute.
- Stir and Continue Heating: Stir the mixture with a greased spatula and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the melted mixture to cool for about 1 minute to prevent the candies from melting when added.
- Fold in Candies: Gently fold in the chopped red and green gumdrops or chewy candies until evenly distributed.
- Transfer and Flatten: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to press it evenly into a flat layer.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or up to overnight to set completely.
- Slice and Store: Once set, lift the candy out using the parchment paper, remove the paper, and slice into small bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container for best freshness.
Notes
- Use a greased spatula to prevent sticking while stirring the melted mixture.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding gumdrops to maintain their texture and color.
- You can substitute gumdrops with any other chewy red and green candies of your choice.
- Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Cut the candy using a sharp knife to achieve clean bite-sized pieces.
